At random times, after a while I'm using X + KDE, it begins to behave weirdly, and looking at the console I see a load of messages like: error 189 request 154 minor 14 I tried to google for the meaning of this error, but it's totally obscure. Hints on how to debug this thing ?
emerge --info? Xorg version? Something interesting in syslog? Some steps to reproduce? We can't guess, really. :)
Lol, you're right. Trouble is, I don't see anything remotely interesting anywhere ! Let's see: - the only strange entries in Xorg.log are: (WW) I810(0): Successfully set original devices (II) I810(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 7 (II) I810(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 0 (II) I810(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 1 (II) I810(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 3 (II) I810(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 2 (II) I810(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 4 (II) I810(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 5 (II) I810(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 6 (WW) I810(0): Successfully set original devices (2) (II) I810(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 7 at 0x00fdf000 (pgoffset 4063) (II) I810(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 0 at 0x07fff000 (pgoffset 32767) (II) I810(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 1 at 0x07ffb000 (pgoffset 32763) (II) I810(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 3 at 0x07fea000 (pgoffset 32746) (II) I810(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 2 at 0x07ffa000 (pgoffset 32762) (II) I810(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 4 at 0x07000000 (pgoffset 28672) (II) I810(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 5 at 0x06800000 (pgoffset 26624) (II) I810(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 6 at 0x067f8000 (pgoffset 26616) (II) Loading sub module "ddc" (II) LoadModule: "ddc" (II) Reloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libddc.so (II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC supported (II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC Level none (II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC transfer in appr. 0 sec.
